Justin's apartment is lavish and luxurious, full of expensive furnitures and art work. The walls are lined with mahogany panels,and the floor is covered in plush carpeting. The furniture is made of dark, polished wood,and the right fixtures are crystal and gold. It's clear that Justin is a man of wealth and taste. But despite the opulence if the apartment, the atmosphere feels cold and unwelcoming. Lisa can't help it but feels like she ,is being judged by Justin as she looks around.
With Lisa and Justin sitting in the living room eof his apartment. Justin is sitting in a high-backed leather chair, while Lisa is perched on the edge of a sofa. The tension in the air is palpable. Finally , Justin speaks .
"So tell me what made you throw my money back at me?" Lisa feels a bit cornered , but she knows she has to answer honestly. So , Lisa takes a deep breath and begins to explain herself . She tells Justin about how she felt disrespected and objectified when he threw the money at her. She explains that she wanted to show him that she wasn't going to be bought or treated like a piece of property . She finishes her explanations and looks at Justin, waiting for his response.
Justin looks at Lisa for a moment, and then says ,"I must admit, I'm impressed by your courage. Most people would have backed down in the face of my threats. But not you. You stood up for yourself. That takes gut . " He pauses, and then continues.
"However , I still expect you to do as I say. And if you don't there will be consequences." Lisa takes a deep breath ,and then looks Justin right t in the eye . "I will not be bullied or intimidated into doing anything I don't want to do". She says , her voice strong and clear . "I will not be pushed around or controlled by you or anyone else.
"There is a tense silence as Justin considers her words as he . Justin face turned red with anger as he listens to Lisa's words ."How dare you speak to me like that".His says his voice rising. " You forget who is in charge here." . But Lisa stands her ground, refusing to back down "I know exactly who is in charge here", She says calmly." And it not you , even though she does know the owner yet.
Justin's face is now bright red, and he's breathing heavily. Lisa can tell he's trying to control his temper, but it's clear he is close to losing it. "You have no idea what you are getting yourself into".He says his voice low and threatening. But Lisa refuses to be intimidated.
Justin takes a step towards Lisa , and she instinctively takes a step back. But When then she stops and stands her ground . She squares her shoulders and looks him right in the eyes. " I am not afraid of you ," She says. "And I won't be bullied by you".
Justin seems taken by her words , her boldness surprised him so much . For a moment , he is speechless. Then he laughs . it's a cold , mirthless laugh . " You really have no idea who you are dealing with , do you". He says . You are playing with fire."
Lisa , isn't sure what what to make of Justin is words . She is starting to feel a bit scared , but she refuses to show it ." I know exactly who I am dealing with," she says , trying to sound confident. But her voice trembles a little . Justin seems to notice. He takes another step towards her.
Justin's face is inches from Lisa's now . His eyes are cold and hard . He speaks in a low menacing tone . " You have no idea what you are getting yourself into, he says . " I am not someone you want to mess with. " Lisa's heart is racing . She is starting to feel panic rising within her. But she doesn't back down.
Lisa takes a deep breath, trying to steady her nerves . But she's starting to feel trapped, like she's in way over her head. She looks around, but there's no easy way out . Justin is still standing right in front of her , staring at her intently.
Lisa feels her heart pounding in her chest. She can barely breathe But she forces herself to stay calm. She looks Justin in the eye and says, "I am not scared of anything you do!!!.
Justin's face twist into snarl. He takes a step closer to her "You shouldn't be " , He says. Lisa can feel her lei shaking, but she stayed on her words ," No matter what you do I won't be intimidated by you." She says trying to sound more confident than she feels. Justin laughs , a cold mocking laugh. He takes another step towards her , invading her personal space.
Justin leans in even closer, his face inches from Lisa's . " You , don't know who you are messing with , " He warned her again . Lisa feels frozen, Like a deer in the headlights. She doesn't know what to do .
Lisa takes a deep breath and tries to gather her courage. She looks Justin right in the eye again and says," I am not scared of you at all. You can't scare me " .
Justin studies Lisa's face for a moment , then gives a slow ,sly smile . "I admire your bravery " He says. "But it's misplaced ." Lisa swallows hard , but hold his gaze . Justin's smile fades . He steps closer to Lisa , so close that she can feel his breath on her face . He looks her for up and down , his gaze lingering on her for a moment too long . She shivers , but she repeated her words .
Justin tilts his head to one side , studying Lisa . Then he laughs this time it was a good laugh , " We will see about that" , he says He looks at Lisa expectantly , like he is waiting for her to make the next move .
The two of them stood looking at each other with comply hatred in their eyes for each other .
